What happens

The Last Resort was an Australian television drama series which originally screened by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC). The show premiered on 27 April 1988 and ended 13 December 1988 for a total of 30 weekly episodes of fifty minutes each. The series was created and co-written by Louis Nowra. The plot revolves around three adult sisters, Elizabeth Parker (Kate Fitzpatrick), Jennifer Shannon (Kris McQuade), and Louise Shannon (Nell Schofield), who attempt to live together and help in the management of the dilapidated seaside Hotel Isis. The series is set in Sydney's Bondi area and was "part of the initiative to increase the network's Australian drama output to 100 hours for [the year]." The series suffered scathing reviews, which contributed to its cancellation after the first season. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
